DJ Hero Renegade Edition Detailed

We've known for a while that dropping an extra $80 on the DJ Hero Renegade bundle gets you a fancier turntable controller and a carrying case that converts into a stand, but today Rolling Stone has details on extra offerings in the form of two hits CDs from rappers Jay-Z and Eminem. While Jay-Z's disc features mostly older hits, Eminem's collection offers one unreleased song, "Taking My Ball." For those anxious to hear the new Eminem track, his own Sirius radio station will debut the track on October 16th, a week before DJ Hero premieres on October 27th. Standard editions of DJ Hero will run at $120 and $100 (for the PlayStation 2 version), and the Renegade package will cost $200.

Tyler says: While I'm not an Eminem fan, I do love me some Jay-Z. But he is scheduled to release his own greatest hits soon after DJ Hero ships, so I'll wait to see which collection is better. If Activision really wanted to sweeten the deal, it'd include a disc of the songs with the game too. Those mixes are hot! What about you, do Eminem or Jay-Z collections tempt your dollars?
